A valley service member surprised his children Sunday morning at River Park in northeast Fresno.

"I'm going to see my kids," said Airman First Class Bryson Anderson. "I have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. They just think they're coming to see Santa, so I'm going to surprise them myself."

Anderson spent the past two months training in Texas. His sons went to see Santa at River Park with a wish for their father to come home for the holidays.

Bryson made that wish come true, and the boys seemed to be in shock. The surprise didn't end there. His wife found out she's pregnant one week before he left, and she slipped him a note letting him know that it's a boy.
